Hike 4 Expats in Romania
Hello hikers and welcome to the Carpathians!
If you love wild landscapes, mountains and if you like spending a day moving in the nature and breathing fresh cool air, then this hike is for you. Discover the beauty of the Carpathians with a nice and international group, guided by a certified mountain guide speaking English, French and Spanish. We bring fun and we create wonderful memories for our hikers.
We invite you to a beautiful and easy/medium-level hike in the mountains not far from Bucharest nor from Brașov: Baiului Mountains and hike to Garbova Chalet. At the moment, the mountains are covered with white ‘coats’ in part, so they look spectacular! You shouldn’t miss that! 
So tell your friends (expats or Romanians) and join us!

The route is a historical one and your guides will tell you what happened there in WW I.
